Bayfront Childcare | Martin Luther King Center

History

The Child Care Program has been operated by the MLK Center since 1970. This program is State Certified to accommodate 105 children. In 1992, the Day Care Unit began providing services for at-risk children though direct referral from the Erie County Office of Children and Youth (OCY) under a “Family Support Center Project” in response to the growing incidence of child neglect and abuse in Erie County.

An expansion of the Child Care Program took place in May of 1995 to accommodate infants six(6) weeks of age through toddlers aged 18 months in response to the need within the community for qualified care for the younger child.

An additional building, owned by Bayfront NATO, Inc. and located across the street from the main facility, was extensively renovated for this Day Care expansion.

“Children’s Crusade” in the USA: how it happened and why it doesn’t look like Russia – Elena Khanenkova

John and Robert Kennedy ponder what they should do after a protest by children in Birmingham

In the early 1960s—a century after the abolition of slavery—the United States was still an ideologically divided country. Blacks and whites lived in different worlds. There was no talk of any equality in many states. At the local level, relevant laws began to be adopted (for example, on separate education and service), de facto legalizing segregation. Alabama Governor George Wallace shouted from the podium, “Segregation now and segregation forever!”

In 1963 Birmingham, Alabama was known as one of the most racist cities in the US South. It was really difficult for blacks to live there. Martin Luther King called him “a symbol of stubborn resistance to integration.” Activists nicknamed the city “Bombingham” because of the frequent attacks on human rights activists. From year to year, there was a huge number of lawsuits on the complaints of African Americans, the Ku Klux Klan really existed and operated. In general, the state was a powerful stronghold of quite real racists and “forward” for people like King.

Adults in the resistance could not be counted on: according to state law, they could end up in jail for 6 months rather than 6 days. African American adults in the city feared losing their jobs and their homes. The few volunteer agitators were swept off the street in the blink of an eye. Then King went out into the street himself, but he was also instantly “swept up”. The activists then made an attempt to recruit the unemployed and the homeless. But that didn’t help the situation either.

Within a few months the protests of the organization had weakened and the leaders of the movement needed new blood and revival. James Bevel, a member of King’s organization, offered an ambiguous option: use children in protests – use groups consisting of children. Upon his release from prison, King said, “We have to use what we have.” The decision was made.

Children’s march. Birmingham, 1963

Children’s march woke up the whole country . On May 2, 1963, it was organized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Despite some hesitation, the SCLC decided to use the children’s resource and partner with the Alabama Christian Human Rights Movement. Both organizations reached out to high schools and colleges, teaching youth the techniques of nonviolent resistance.

The signal to start the march was the phrase: “Guys, the party is starting in the park!”. They called it “D-day”. On the first day of the protest, over a thousand students walked out of schools, ignoring warnings from parents and teachers. As a result, more than 3 thousand black young people took to the march through the city.

The next day the arrests began; the police, led by Commissioner of Public Safety Bull Connor, took out fire hoses and unleashed their dogs on the children. And although some firefighters, despite orders, refused to disperse children from hydrants, it made headlines across the country and around the world.

The evening after the arrests, Dr. King addressed a group of very concerned parents: “Don’t worry about your children; they’ll be fine. Don’t hold them back if they want to go to jail, because they’re doing it not only for themselves, but for all of America and all of humanity.”

Eight days later, the SCLC and the state’s local leadership reached an agreement: desegregate downtown stores and release all protesters from prison, provided protests cease. For the young people who participated in the march, the consequences were very tangible. The Birmingham Board of Education planned to expel all students who participated in the march from educational institutions. After a lengthy legal battle, the appeals court overturned the decision of the lower courts and criticized the school board for trying to punish students in this way.

“Photos of the brave children of Birmingham as they faced fire hoses and police dogs were front-page news across America and helped turn public opinion in favor of the civil rights movement,” says Marian Wright Edelman, Founder and President of the Foundation child protection.

Under intense public pressure, Birmingham negotiated a truce with King, and on May 10, Connor was removed from his post. The Children’s Crusade worked. Life magazine published photographs of the violent crackdown on the demonstration. More than half of the country read the article and were horrified. Marches were also held in 186 cities in support of Birminghams. The press published photographs of the Kennedy brothers reflecting on the problem. Everyone was waiting for their decision. June 19For 63 years, John F. Kennedy spoke out in support of the state’s African-American minority. Laws legalizing segregation in Alabama were repealed.

“The campaign in Birmingham was very important,” says Claiborne Carson, director of the Martin Luther King Institute for Research and Education at Stanford University. “He had never carried out such a massive campaign of civil disobedience before, and there were not enough adults ready to be arrested. Thus, this “children’s crusade” turned the tide.

If King had failed in Birmingham, perhaps his footprint in history would have been different. If he had lost, he probably would not have given the famous “I have a dream” speech and would not have received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

March on Washington, June 1963

There were sad consequences. In September 1963, one of the Negro Baptist churches was blown up in Birmingham immediately after the service. Four girls died. But in 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed at the national level, prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

Despite criticism of his action, King believed that the use of children was a wise decision. He not only caused waves of indignation throughout the country, but also awakened a sense of justice. In addition, as history has shown, this march was crucial in reviving the movement.

Today in Birmingham the mayor and head of the schools are African Americans. “Doesn’t it matter to those children who took to the streets of the city, went to jail, protested?” asks Gwen Gamble, one of the participants in the events at that time.

In 1963 in the United States, only the protest of children was able to break the deadlock in the struggle of Martin Luther King and his supporters for the civil rights of blacks.

In 2017 in Russia, someone else’s brazen lies lead children to the streets to advocate for other people’s business interests in order to use them as human shields and cannon fodder for provocateurs whose goal is to destroy Russia.
